Orli Sweet: Complete training guide for a swim instructor inservice

We completed my training guide today. Here it is:

Training Activity One:

LC will hand out short lesson sheets with swim challenges. Instructors should take a few minutes to review the expectations for correct technique, and communication.

LC will ask instructors to demonstrate random challenges properly for everyone. 

Create groups of 3-4 people. Assign one person to be the instructor who will assign the group one random challenge. After swimmers demonstrate the challenge the instructor will practice using command language. EX: You failed! You did __________ wrong. Do it again!

Training Activity Two:

• Help instructors recognize common swim technique errors within challenges, and practice correcting them using direct and confident language

LC will hand out a list of common swim technique errors (EX: arms not tightly squeezing ears in streamline)

LC will select one instructor per group to demonstrate a challenge with an error while the rest of the group watches. 

The rest of the group should watch the instructor and the swimmer and observe how the challenge is wrong. Regroup and debrief with an LC after.

LC should create groups of 3-5 people. Assign one person to be the instructor. Assign another person to be the swimmer. The rest of the group will observe and find errors within the challenges. 

Challenge:

LC should create groups of 3-5 people. LC will assign every group the exact same challenge from a lesson sheet. Each group member will demonstrate the challenge and the LC will choose whoever completes the challenge best. Then each group winner will compete against each other in the same challenge until one person wins. 

Repeat.

Action items:

Review how the training was led and what went well/can be improved.

Information about the Goal

Orli Sweet arrived at their goal through a series of meetings and refinement. Learn how that process happened.

What should we improve?

The candidate chose items in the aquatics program and department to improve. Goals are broad targets that we will work towards. Every meeting and task done will be in service of that goal. Goals should be large enough to encompass many tasks. Goals may not be attainable. Goals are our guiding direction; our North Star.

Orli Sweet's brainstormed ideas:

Ensure swim groups are welcoming to all swimmers new and old
Ensure instructors deliver instructions clearly for all kids to understand
Train instructors to properly deliver the lesson efficiently using time management skills
Train instructors to adapt activities and challanges to same level different ability swimmers
